In the holy month of Ramadan date fruits are an Iftar staple in the Middle East countries.
Yet more recently, Muslims in Malaysia have come up with eye-catching food hamper gifts that include dates.
The hampers known as Sunnah food are offered with attractive decorations and date fruit is a large portion of the treat.
Sunnah food is a term used for foods believed to be consumed by the Prophet Muhammad during his life such as dates, honey, figs and olives.
